Hi,

As I see it:

  1. A straightforward use of past simple
  2. Said at the end of the week
  3. Straightforward use of past simple
  4. Not really making sense.

Hi Daemon

The biggest problem with sentence 4 is that there is absolutely no justification whatsoever for the use of the past perfect.

You might be able to justify it by adding a simple past tense clause beginning with the word ‘before’, for example.
